OK the other point could be that your wife is using your gender issues in considering the end to the marriage , it does happen , people just move apart , it's no ones fault especially if children have finally flown the nest .

The body shaving issue has two sides to it , your wife may not like it as she knows you are trying to feminise your body on the other hand it is your body and have the right to do as you chose with it . I find it ironic that male members of my family have little or no body hair and no one passes comment but shaving hair off is frowned upon .
Teresa, I think you should read more carefully what Jade wrote.

Both of them haven't lost interest in sex. And women need as much as men to have a life long intimacy! Not being fertile anymore is a relief for many GGs who are free to live their sex life with no consequences.

And Jade made no mention of splitting apart as far as I can judge.

And no, in a marriage you cannot do what you want with your body. Or you have to accept and shut your mouth if your wife chooses to stop shaving, have a breast reduction and everything that pleases her. I think all decisions which have consequences on the couple need to be discussed by the couple. This is the key of good partnership.
